The length of a rectangle is 2 feet longer than the with what is the dimensions if the area is 8ft?
Designate the width in feet by w. By the statement of the problem, the length is then w+2. The area of any rectangle is the product of the length and the width, or w(w+2) = 8. Multiplying out and collecting all terms on one side yields w2 + 2w - 8 = 0. The polynomial can be factored into (w + 4)(w - 2) = 0, which is true when w = 2 or -4. The length of a physical rectangle can not be negative; therefore, the width is 2 feet and the length 4 feet.

What is the name of the long and short sides of a rectangle?
In a rectangle, the longer side is referred to as the "length," while the shorter side is called the "width." These terms help distinguish the dimensions of the rectangle, with length typically representing the side that is longer. When discussing the area or perimeter, these dimensions are essential for calculations.

Does it matter which dimensions you select for the length and width when you find the area of a rectangle?
not really but the length is always the longer side :)

Width and the length of a rectangle?
The width and length of a rectangle are two of its main dimensions. The width is the measurement of the shorter side of the rectangle, while the length is the measurement of the longer side. The area of a rectangle is calculated by multiplying the width by the length.

What is the surface area for a rectangle that is 50 in?
You need two dimensions to calculate the area of a rectangle. Area = length multiplied by width.

How does length relate to area?
The area of a square or rectangle is the product of its two dimensions, so its length is the quotient when its area is divided by its width.
How much square ins is a rectangle?
Without the dimensions, we won't be able to tell. The area of a rectangle is the length times the width. If those dimensions are in inches, the area will be in square inches.
How to get the deminsions of a rectangle?
The dimensions of a rectangle are the length and the width. With these two measurements , the area of the rectangle can be calculated : Area = length x width. The perimeter can also be found : Perimeter = (2 x length) + (2 x width).
